Peyton pulled the containers of food out of the three, large, white bags and set them on the kitchen counter, and began arranging the appetizers on platters, before throwing the plastic containers away. She took a deep breath before walking upstairs, and rolled her eyes when she heard shouting coming from one of the bedrooms.
"Riley! Let me borrow the shirt!" Blair yelled to her slightly, older sister.
Riley rolled her eyes, "Blair, I need it for tomorrow night. And, it's dry clean only. No way."
Blair threw her head back dramatically, "You need to learn to share."
Riley rolled her eyes, "Stop being such a fuc-"
Peyton walked in to the bedroom and stared at the girls, "What's going on?"
Blair sighed, "Mom, Riley won't let me borrow her Michael Stars' top."
Peyton sighed, "It's Riley's, Blair."
Riley smiled as she kissed her mother's cheek before walking out of her sister's room, "Exactly."
Blair sighed as she grabbed the fitted, cashmere, orange v-neck sweater off of the floor and pulled it over her body, "How do I look?"
Peyton smiled, "Fine. I'm going to go change."
Blair nodded, "Oh. Yeah. Mom, Jen called. She said she may be coming home tonight."
Peyton smiled happily, "Oh, your dad's going to be thrilled."
Blair shrugged, "Whatever. Just make sure you guys pay attention to Brad, too."
Peyton smiled, "Don't worry, baby."
Blair rolled her eyes and slammed the door shut as her mother stepped out of the room.
…
" Nate, how does this look?" Haley asked, while holding up a brown skirt.
"Fine," Nathan said, as he continued to button his shirt.
Haley rolled her eyes, "Nate. You're TiVo-ing the game, you can come and watch it. You'll be fine."
Nathan rolled his eyes, "It's not the same."
Haley glared at him, "Brad's missing the game, too."
Nathan shook his head as he walked out of the room, smoothing out his light blue dress shirt and grey, wool slacks.
…
Peyton tossled her long, blonde curls and tightened her large, diamond studs. She was wearing a simple, yet gorgeous outfit; the silver grey flowing knee length skirt and the black, low-cut halter, clung to her body in all the right places.
She then fastened her black, BCBG wedges on to her feet and began scurrying around the kitchen.
Peyton rolled her eyes as she heard the TV in the family room, "Jake, could you stop watching the game, and help me out?"
Jake
sighed, "You're fine, Peyt. We've still got… two minutes."
…
Nathan closed the car door shut as he walked towards his son's girlfriend's house. Sam followed him; she chose to wear a short denim skirt and royal blue knit, that looked amazing with her dark brown hair.
Sam smiled, "Dad, try to be nice. Maybe Mom won't bother you about riding Brad if you behave tonight."
Nathan ignored his daughter's comment, and instead rang the doorbell.
Blair shrieked in the bathroom, "Oh my god, Riley! Get the door!"
Riley rolled her eyes as she ran down the stairs in a kelly green, strapless Juicy babydoll and a tight pair of Citizens of Humanity jeans, her long wavy hair pulled in to a high, messy bun.
"Hey," Riley said as she opened the door to her house.
Haley smiled warmly at her, "Blair, right?"
Riley laughed as she opened the door wider to let them in.
"No. Riley. I'm Blair's twin sister," Riley said with a polite smile, as she led them in to the house.
Nathan turned to his son and gave him a nod of approval.
Brad smirked as he followed Riley further in to the house.
Haley adjusted her yellow, three quarter sleeve sweater, with the plunging neckline, and smoothed out her knee length brown skirt.
"Dad, these are the Scott's," Riley said as she led them in to the family room.
Jake stood up quickly, "Scott's?"
Nathan smirked, "Yeah. I'm Nathan, and this is my wife Haley."
Jake smiled widely as he stuck his hand out to Nathan, "I'm Jake. Jagielski."
Nathan furrowed his eyebrows slightly and Haley grinned widely before throwing her arms around her, "Jake! Oh my god!"
Jake smiled, "I can't believe it. You guys are Brad's parents?"
Nathan nodded with a smile, "Yeah. I didn't know you lived in Tree Hill."
Haley smiled as she linked arms with Jake and he led her towards the kitchen, and Nathan and Brad followed.
"We've lived here since the girls were born. You guys just moved here, right? Blair said Brad was new," Jake said.
"Yeah, a couple months ago," Nathan said, smiling, he couldn't believe how unlikely this was.
Haley smiled, "So, introduce us to Mrs. Jagielski?"
Jake nodded as they finally entered the kitchen.
And, there Peyton stood, rummaging through the refrigerator for some orange juice.
"You married Peyton!" Haley exclaimed happily before running towards her old friend to give her a hug.
Peyton pulled her head out of the refrigerator and saw Haley running towards her and smiled widely, "Haley!"
Haley laughed wildly as she wrapped her arms around her old friend, "I can't believe this!"
Peyton smiled and then looked over her shoulder to see Nathan and Jake staring at the two women.
"Nathan? Oh my god! Well, I should've known. But, still…Well, don't just stand there!" Peyton said with a laugh as she wrapped her arms around his body.
Nathan smiled as he hugged her, burying his face in to her blonde curls, inhaling the scent of her jasmine scented shampoo.
She looked amazing after all these years, her figure was still the same, and she didn't look much older than she was fifteen years ago.
"Happy to see me?" Nathan laughed, pulling away.
Peyton slapped his shoulder playfully, "Kind of. How did we not know?"
Riley raised her eyebrows and looked at Brad who merely smirked at her.
Blair ran down the stairs, looking beautiful, her long, almost black, curly hair, down, wearing her orange sweater and a short, pleated khaki brown skirt.
Blair smiled when she saw the four parents engaged in conversation, she turned towards the two adults she didn't recognize.
"Hi. I'm Blair," she said with a smile.
"I'm Haley and this is Brad's dad, Nathan," Haley said as she pulled her in to a warm hug.
Blair smiled, "It's nice to meet you."
Blair was waiting for them to say something in return, but was shocked when Peyton pulled Haley in to the family room, and Jake and Nathan followed, having a conversation amongst themselves.
Blair rolled her eyes, "Okay…What was up with that?"
Blair smiled, "Blair. Okay, so that was weird. They've known each other for two seconds and are now like…best friends?"
Sam rolled her eyes, "I think they've known each other for more than that."
Blair rested her hand on her hip, "You know what I mean."
Sam sighed, "No. I mean like…I think they really are good friends. Or, were at one time."
Blair contemplated what she was saying and then shrugged, "Whatever."
Meanwhile, in the family room.
Haley laughed, "So, Nathan doesn't have to miss the game tonight."
Peyton smiled as she looked over at the two men who were absorbed by the game on TV.
"So, guess what?" Peyton asked with a smile as she brought the appetizers in to the family room.
Haley shrugged, "What are these, Peyt? They look gorgeous."
Peyton smiled, "Jumbo shrimp in a miso salad dressing. If I knew it was you guys I would've gotten a pizza or something."
Haley slapped her arm playfully, and Peyton walked towards the guys.
She was bent over and stood with the platter right in front of Nathan.
Nathan stared at her revealed cleavage for a couple seconds before grabbing a shrimp off of the platter.
Peyton smiled at him, "Don't worry, I catered. You don't have to worry about dying after you eat these."
Nathan laughed, "Oh. That wasn't it."
Peyton gave him an odd look and walked towards Jake who took a shrimp off of the platter.
Peyton said down and stared at Nathan for a couple moments. Who was still as good looking as he was so many years ago, and still just as muscular.
Haley smiled, "Okay. So, finish your story. Well, whatever you were going to tell me. You said… 'So, guess what?"
Peyton clapped her hands together and smiled, "Oh, right. Okay, so…You know, how Brooke married that guy Felix. That guy from highschool, Anna's brother?"
Haley nodded, "Yeah. I haven't heard from her since though."
Nathan smirked, "Anna's brother? Wasn't that the girl who was in to you?"
Peyton rolled her eyes, " Still so immature."
Nathan smiled at her before turning his attention back to the game.
Peyton smiled, "She's getting married again. To..Lucas. And…The wedding's in two weeks. Brooke's coming in tomorrow, she wants to have the wedding here."
Haley nodded, "Do you stay in touch with her?"
Peyton smiled, "Of course."
Haley nodded sadly, and Jake realized that this was because she probably felt that the other two girls forgot about her.
Jake smiled, "You know Brooke. When she realizes you're here, she's going to flip out."
Haley nodded, "Yeah. I can't wait to see her."
Peyton smiled, "…Well, she comes in tomorrow."
Haley smiled, "Really?"
Jake rolled his eyes, "Yeah. So, if you three are going to spend all of your time at the house gossiping, I'll make sure I'm put on call tomorrow night."
Nathan laughed and turned to Jake, "You have anything to drink, man? Water? Or, ju-"
Jake laughed, "Don't be ridiculous. Sorry, I forgot. Okay, so what're you drinking nowadays?"
Nathan smiled, "You have any scotch?"
Peyton rolled her eyes, " Jake only drinks scotch. Refuses to even take a sip of wine."
Jake sighed, "Always complaing about me. Anyway, we've Glenlivet, Magallan, Glen Morenge…Um…"
"Magallan sounds good," Nathan said.
Jake smiled at Haley, "What about you, Hales?"
Haley smiled at him. He really was good looking. Sure, Nathan was sexy, but Jake was handsome, in a Cary Grant kind of way.
"Any cabernet is good," Haley said.
Jake smiled, "Got it. I'll be right back, guys."
Peyton smiled, "So, Brooke and I were going to go shopping tomorrow. And, now that we know the Scotts live here, there's no way that you're not coming with us."
Haley laughed, "There's no way I would say no."
Peyton smiled, "Oh. I got these wedges last weekend, and I need you to tell me if they're cute."
Peyton stood up off of the couch and Haley followed her towards the staircase.
Haley pointed towards Peyton's feet, "I absolutely love what you're wearing right now."
Peyton smiled, "Oh. BCBG is having a major shoe sale, we have to go tomorrow."
Haley and Peyton walked up the stairs chatting incessantly.
Nathan smiled as Jake handed him his drink, "They never change do they."
Jake smiled, "Never."
